The Crafty Critter 230.…a Polish Lace Sewing Pattern for Collars in Size 12 to 16

The pattern is uncut and all the pieces are there.  The instructions are there.  Copyright 1987.

This is an unusual kind of pattern.  First, there is no such craft as Polish Lace...the pattern designer coined it because she liked the term.  There are 4 patterns to make collars out of lace, beads, ribbon roses, pearls etc.

The standard equipment you should have on hand: zigzag sewing machine, darning foot, open-toed appliqué foot, small sharp scissors, 11/75 stretch needles, extra-fine machine embroidery bobbin thread, white deco marker, water, stabilizer.  Sounds like fun once you get the hang of it and you can probably use these techniques to embellish other garments.  Knowledge of decorative stitchery on the sewing machine is necessary.

All patterns are vintage items and sold…AS IS.  Although I maintain a smoke-free and a pet-free studio, I have no control over where items have been previously.  I attempt to represent my goods as honestly as possible, but sometimes something will get by.  If you have any doubts about an item, E-MAIL ME!  I want to make sure that you will be pleased with your purchase.  I will make a refund as merchandise credit; buyer pays for return shipments.

Pattern comes in a zip 2 mil. plastic bag and is shipped in an envelope with a cardboard insert.  The zip bag is great for storing the pattern!

Please note that I count the pattern pieces unless factory folded, assess the pattern’s condition and press the pattern as necessary.  You will never purchase a pattern from me with “It looks like it's all there” or ‘Pieces need pressing’.
